Careful with India's election fervour

As the world’s largest democracy goes to the polls the health of India’s economy hangs in the balance.

The Indian electorate, fed up with widespread corruption and stagflation, look set to oust the Indian National Congress party that has held power for a decade and vote in the reform-minded opposition Bharatiya Janata Party BJP, polls suggest.

FinanceAsia is backing the BJP in the Indian elections, which kicked off this week, because its policies seem to be more in line with the economy’s needs.
